In my opinion, I've been playing pko for more than a year now... and i'm addicted to it. pko might be bored sometimes, atleast at the server I play but it's pretty nice to have alot of friends there also.
And about Tales of Pirate I've started to play it some months ago, just login like twice only lolz... I've seen peoples selling accounts on world/trade channel, the server was laggy, and there are so many peoples talking at world/trade channel that u always have to scroll up. I don't mean to offend ToP but PKO have many kind players, and at ToP I don't see that, I think PKO is the best. Oh one thing more, ToP have alot of spanish speaking peoples, I talked with one of them, he can't even speak English, and his spanish was like broken xD he was selling account =.= and GM didn't mute/ban him zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well for me even PKO and TOP is almost the same game, PKO still exceeded over TOP cause even PKO got bugged now and alot of problems, still management and GMs tried thier best to help players, but in TOP players always complain why there is no GM around. Tsk...tsk..tsk..too bad for TOP.

TOP is doing better attracting newbie without putting pressure on them to buy mall item.Free mall item,many rum spammer,cheap item on sale are the utmost importance in keeping a healthy population in the server.More player = more profit cuz eventually some will pay for the mall item.

On the contrary,pko exerting alot of pressure to the players to buy rum.They dont reward newbie with mall item.Instead they do alot with auction and gss event trying to get as much profit as possible.Therefore many left as it seems to be worst than p2p game.At least p2p,the game is not too imbalance.Many quiting =less player=no business.Eventually pko has to step up the gear,more 3x drop,gss selling,auction to sustain their income.Then more people leave.

TOP more laggy for asian but PKO more buggier.

Overall PKO is better but if they continue with this money suking strategy,they will lose out.They shud have a long term business plan and get more player to join not scarring people away with crazy sales.

TOP is much better than PKO, PKO management is getting worse and worse day by day. GM don't dun reply emails to players who got problems in gameplay. Nowadays, PKO got so many bugs, if you dun beileve me, go to PKO website and check their forums. Many players are complaining about the bugs.

SERIOUSLY!! is PKO really from Singapore? i always thought PKO was from US and TOP for SEA countries! Man wat a mess i made? so which should i play coz i understand that the cash items for TOP are much cheaper than that of PKO! by the way which came first? PKO or TOP? i just want to know
